President trump moves to formally withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization even as covered 900. 00 cases. And turkish troops in libya help clear land mines left by forces loyal to the warlords to leave. So then the presidency repeatedly downplayed coronavirus is now in quarantine at his home in brazil after testing positive joy of both sonora has cancelled his schedule for the next few days but insists hes still in good health is one of nearly 1700000 people infected in brazil thats the 2nd worst affected country in the world latin america at its early season human as this i am World Leaders have defied public 19 like brazils jade. For months the president tempted fate and turned to doctors he scorned calls to respect social distancing he seemed to relish defining even his own advisers always pressing the flesh and rarely using a face mask many members of his cabinet had become infected even his wifes grandmother some joked. Made a pact with the devil until what was probably the inevitable that happened but would for the thought of you accuse me of my fill the west side. Everybody knew that sooner or later current of our side reach an important part of population a lot of people like me for example if i would not have done the test i would not know about a result that was positive yes it was positive. So far bosso not has admitted to having a feeder and body aches but continues to brush off the severity of an illness he once described as a little true even taking off his face mask after testing positive. For the bureaucratic of the 3rd book so you can see my face who wants to see my face im fine can thank god. Thanks that i was there prayed for me were supporting me im fine thank god. Its not just boss im not his health but his political reputation thats at stake hes waged war against lockdowns saying theyre more harmful than the illness. Hes clashed with governors who ordered businesses closed and the Supreme Court which recently felt compelled to order the president to wear a face mask or pay a steep fine thank you for taking his cue from donald trump also not or has threatened to withdraw from the w. H. O. And has ordered the Brazils Health system distribute the anti malaria drug drugs at chloroquine despite warnings that its not safe or proven to be effective thing treating coronavirus hes in fact using it now himself. Nevertheless wishes him while im a speedy and full recovery. From this disease or leaders around the world who have have had similar experiences and i think it brings home. The reality of this wires. That will likely depend on how president bush or not a fence on whether hell become seriously ill as was he produced Prime Minister Blair Johnson or whether hell be back at work in a week or 2 telling everyone i told you so. All this despite the more than 65000 positions lost their lives so far to the socalled little china. You see in human aljazeera. Michael caine cohen is an associate professor at the put difficult Catholic University of religion there and he says that both in arizona skewed work in his favor politically this is not a man of deep insights i think it also it also true its also extraordinary convenient for him in some ways indeed if it stays our late course right hell be able to continue on his narrative that its just a flu and can be cured easily he was also scheduled to be deposed by the federal police on its allegations of one do influence taking next week so the timing is not as no one stays late course the timing is not altogether bad if it stays within these sort of 85 percent that are the light forces and it will likely strengthen those who are. Who are doubting the severity of the outbreak in the hospital it may actually end up lowering the adhesion to a cutting into it getting to the sort of distancing myself here since the great again me weve seen this kind of catastrophic response of the that the country is had has to deal with a total lack of leadership from the federal right but brazil had every possibility of having an absolutely modeled response to this and then make we have a very strong public Health System we have highly trained doctors we have good i. C. U. Density we have you know experience of pandemics treatment of of hiv and aids here is actually quite quite advanced so you know its a sign of failure of leadership in the federal level this that this is turned out the way that. To serbia where thousands of protesters are tried to Storm Parliament angry about tough coronavirus restrictions the president alexandrovitch put a weekend curfew back in place after the countrys worst day yet all the pun demick with 13 deaths and brian has this report. Protesters and Police Battle on the streets around serbias parliament was hounds try to storm the building some briefly managing to get inside before being pushed back was theyre angry at president aleksander of the church and his decision to reimpose coronavirus restrictions. Were some chanted calling him a thing. Was for others demanded his resignation their government is trying for the 2nd time. Put the cyclone. To impose current theory that far reaching it is only a serious possibility because they made all the mistakes i was. The mistake they say was lifting what was one of europes strictest lockdowns. We gathered here to protest because our president lifted the state of emergency because of the election and now he wants to impose it again. Critics say the president lifted restrictions so he could hold parliamentary elections last month has passed on an overwhelming victory not clubs were back in action it was a tennis tournament shops were open and 25000 fans packed a belgrade stadium for the countrys most popular football match at the station slammed by an epidemiologist as an enormous totally unjustified risk the president now says the situation in belgrade is critical after his from odisha we made lots of mistakes we have probably relaxed too much everyone thought it was all over scituate soon the situation in belgrade is alarming and its serious in 4 more cities in serbia but belgrade is really in a critical situation. The capitals hospitals are almost full so the military has been building temporary facilities gatherings of more than 5 people are now banned and the u. K. Few this weekend before they and the anger against the church means the crowds are unlikely to stay at home. Brian al jazeera. Well coronavirus cases continue to climb in the United States the number of dead has now passed 130000. 00 infections are surging in states that push to reopen early president dollar trump he continues to downplay the resurgence of the poem the american insists he wants schools to reopen in the new school year my kind of reports now from washington d. C. Texas was one of the 1st states to ease its mitigating measures responding to pressure from President Trump in mid april who insisted he wanted states to open up to restart the economy. Now with stealing with a massive increase in infections joining florida and reporting more than 10000 cases in a day a figure matched only by new york state in the early stages of the pandemic in the next 2 weeks were probably going to end up being what new york was. I think thats whats going to happen Donna Ingraham has been an i. C. U. Nurse for 17 years last week she went from caring for patients to becoming a patient herself after testing positive i really at one point in time asked god to take me the pain was ridiculous. It was simply i mean in my mind i couldnt breathe think i didnt have to be proud of ventilator the republican governor who ordered the early opening of texas is now dialing back and reimposing mitigating measures including the wearing off masks we wore not have to shut it down if everyone will follow this very simple rule and that is just get a mask like this where it makes sure that you dont get covered 18 and you dont give it to anybody else. But the u. S. President continues to be masculists and even as the cases surge is not putting pressure on governors to open schools for the new year at the end of august what we want to do is we want to get our schools open we want to get them open quickly beautifully in the fall and the as you know this is a disease its a horrible disease but young people do extraordinarily well the reaction from teachers was furious that is so callous and him so callous when we do it wrong people da Little People can get sick you had asthma youve got bad allergies and youre 6 years old you could die if we do this ron there was anger too among many in congress which was officially notified that President Trump is pulling the United States out of the World Health Organization the notice period is 12 months so the u. S. Will actually only leave the w. H. O. In july next year between then and now is an election and president ial candidate joe biden says one of his 1st acts as president will be to reverse the decision effectively it will be up to the voters to decide mike hanna aljazeera Washington Well actually approaches a political commentator and a board member of republican women for progress and she says withdrawing from the show is another reckless decision by President Trump which will put americans at risk. For him it will just stand to be a talking point in his campaign you know this whole entire time hes blaming the virus on other countries and not taking responsibility for the disastrous effects that his response from his own administration and that here there are states that opened way too early and a lot of those states are states with republican governors who felt political pressure from this president and this administration to reopen and as a result their cases are surging in spiking in those states and now theyre faced with a tough decision to shut down their states again facing future Economic Impacts as a result places a huge void in the membership by not having the u. S. At the table and that really is what the problem is here its going to affect Clinical Trials it will affect future vaccines it will affect responses to emerging outbreaks and thats really where americans are now being put at risk because of a reckless decision by the president so i do think who you know is at a situation right now where theyre going to realize that the United States membership was a crucial one and weve always been looked to as a leader im not sure that there is leadership right now it seems to be a large vacuum there when it comes to the current officeholder at 1600. 00 pennsylvania avenue but at the same time i do think because this will take up to a year hopefully a responsible decision is made but this again does put americans at risk because of the fact that we wont be information sharing with other countries that are working to develop vaccines and host Clinical Trials to really try to find innovations and solutions to fight these deadly diseases.

Aljazeera the one. The mexican president done that has manual Lopez Obrador is set to meet with u. S.

President donald trump this week at the invitation of the white house but what would normally be a standard meeting between 2 World Leaders has stirred criticisms but.
